Nagpur: A 70-year-old retired man was duped of Rs20 lakh in a digital arrest scam by unidentified fraudsters posing as police officers from Mumbai. The fraudsters contacted the senior citizen through video calls, claiming an arrest warrant had been issued against him over links with terrorists. Under this pretext of “money verification,” they pressured him into transferring Rs 20 lakh from his account through RTGS. The man later realised he had been cheated and approached the police.
